Thanks for all the help. Seems like maybe a few trailer modifications and
adjustments and practice is what I need. With the cold weather coming in,
maybe I will just go to the landing and practice putting it in and taking
it
out. Sounds like a lot of trouble, but maybe it will keep me from making a
lot of people mad when the warm weather hits.
Thanks again and happy boating...

I put my used pontoon in the water for the first time, this past
weekend.
http://www.coopscorner.com/pontoon/pontoon.htm I am very new to boating
and
would like some advice on my pontoon boat. As I said it is used, but it
ran
good and it pulled well behind my Chevy truck.
I have what I think is a float on trailer and I was wondering about the
PVC
guides. http://coopscorner.com/takealook/pontoon_trailer.htm
I was wondering if someone could take a look at the pictures and see if
you
can tell if the guides are in the correct position..
Any tips on getting it on and off the trailer would be appreciated also.
I
was able to get it back on the trailer, but I had to get in the water a
little further than I thought I should have. My truck was back to where
the
exhaust and half the tires were underwater, which was ok, which was ok,
but
I still had to wade out a little, which I didn't think should have been
necessary. Well maybe it want be necessary when I learn what I am doing.
Any
advice and help is very much appreciated.
